“Oriental Tea is like stepping into a vibrant, whimsical world of its own. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by a mesmerizing display of Chinoiserie decor, with cherry blossom branches elegantly draped across the ceiling and colorful, intricately designed walls that make the space feel both lively and serene. It’s the perfect mix of cozy and picturesque, offering the kind of ambiance that instantly lifts your spirits. I decided to cap off my visit with their Strawberry Sundae, and it was the perfect choice. This sundae was a delightful blend of flavors and textures. The creamy, silky strawberry base was packed with a rich, sweet flavor that lingered pleasantly on the palate. The whipped cream was airy and perfectly balanced, while the rainbow sprinkles added a playful crunch that brought a fun contrast to each bite. The true surprise was the addition of animal crackers—these adorable treats tied all the elements together, adding just the right amount of sweetness and a nostalgic touch that made the whole dessert truly memorable. What makes Oriental Tea stand out is how versatile it is. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick pick-me-up in the morning or looking to unwind after a long day, this spot has everything you need. With its unique decor, delicious treats, and welcoming atmosphere, Oriental Tea is a place that leaves a lasting impression. I’ll definitely be coming back for more—it’s a must-visit for anyone who loves a great drink experience in a one-of-a-kind setting!“

“We loved talking with the helpful man behind the counter. He took the time to explain the various chocolates that they sell. The way in which the fabricating of the chocolate is controlled in such a richly authentic way won me over. My granddaughter loved the samples that we were given. I will be back to buy more bars and to try the hot chocolate. I am thinking that these bars would make lovely gifts. You are a great addition to the Pilsen vibe! Judy DeLeon“

“great, well prepared food, great staff“

“First time here and definitely worth trying. The chicken is soft and well seasoned with the jerk flavors. Mac and cheese is cheesy and good. Cabbage is good..now the red beans and rice tasted like rice a roni..it didn’t have that real flavor of red beans and rice plus I think all I got was like three beans. Then it came with some sauce that was sweet, rubbed me the wrong way. But overall I would recommend for anyone to try for themselves.“

Please add the shrimp po’ boy as a regular item “
